Description

Hi Y'All :o) Just something lighthearted and silly today. I know, the photo quality is awful...it was taken many moons ago with just a little cheapie camera, and I tried to doctor it up as much as possible, and it's still not that good, but thought y'all would enjoy a little Sunday chuckle. It was taken at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge park just north of Ft. Lauderdale where I've spent many a happy and productive hour fishing...and yes, I love to fish ! (surprise,surprise)...just gimme a cane pole any day and I'm happy as a clam :o) Now the character perched atop the sign is a turkey vulture and my favorite bird...I know, weird huh, but I've long been a fan of all raptors, hence my name here, Nekhbet, which is the ancient Egyptian vulture Goddess. I was just very surprised to be able to get that close for a pic since they're very very shy and usually fly off long before you can get close enough to point n click. Now if you all can't live another moment without knowing more about turkey vultures, here's a coupla info sites: turkey vultures raptor center And another site with info about Loxahatchee, which by the way, means "river of turtles" in the native Indian language. It's a huge (app. 221 sq miles) and beautiful refuge and is part of the Everglades. loxahatchee Ok, I really do think I've droned on long enough, so here's hoping y'all have a fantastic day !!! ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina *
